How can we "measure the genetic stability" of strains?

This is a difficult task. Is there a method on hand which can prove that
genetic changes did not occure to a cell line during a certain treatment?
And this free of doubt? The answer is NO!

However, there are methods available which can be used to verify the identity
of a cell line or strain.
So these methods can be used to prove whether you are dealing with the same
strain over the years or whether there have been genetic changes in the
population which could be due to contaminations.
